- Then, I carry said coffee into the bedroom and proceed to get ready for work.

Thursday morning, this routine was being performed just as it is every other morning until the ice cube part...

When drowsily reaching for the freezer handle, something on my refrigerator MOVED. O.K., now let me be clear that NOTHING on OR in my fridge is supposed to MOVE. So, this was enough to simultaneously cause me to gasp, jump back, and suddenly become WIDE awake.

Then, I saw what it was that had moved, and this caused me to simultaneously go "awwwww", begin talking to said critter, and cause Molly-Collie to stare at her mommy wondering if she needed to go wake Daddy up, because Mommy may have lost her mind.

But, seriously...

How could I resist?

This little critter was stuck on my fridge door,

just under the water & ice cube dispenser.

Maybe it was thirsty?

No, I have no idea how it got in my house. That's exactly what Hubs asked me when I told him. Heck, it was such a tiny tree frog that it could have come in on Molly when she went potty for the night. Or, it could have even come in on Hub's boots when he came in from mowing hay until after dark.

After photographing it, I went to pick it up, and it jumped off the fridge. This initiated about five to ten minutes of the "Misty chases froggy/Froggy hops away just as Misty tries to grab it/Misty chases froggy again/repeat/repeat" game. I finally caught it and took it outside.

Wow, you're brave. If something moved on my fridge, I'd scream, I wouldn't say, "Awwwww."Good thing it was you chasing Froggy and not Doggy-chase-Froggy.Interesting way to wake up. If that had happened to me, I'd be awake for a week.
